[Movie] Kowarekake no Orgel

It seems that there has been a flood of short independent anime movies lately (well, actually, the flood came a year ago, and we're just getting them due to the DVD release delay). On top of that, there seems to be a stream of "great concept minus" animes such as Loups=Garous I just reviewed and this one.

The concept is more or less borrowed from first half of Chobits, which was an amazing concept at the time. Almost ten years later, they want to revive almost exact same concept without the complicated mess on top of the simple idea.

The problem, however, is the fact everybody has already know this concept, and this is not more than just a quick shuffle of characters, social background. It doesn't feel fresh at all. It's just "something" to watch when you're really out of stuff to watch (which looking at this season's new animes, it's really not that crazy to think now).

So, again, this anime also get an "you're not missing much if you skip it" from me.
